000129548 5203_ $$aVeterinarians are well placed to supervise and ensure canine welfare. However, the perception of animal welfare among veterinarians may vary depending on the level of training and professional practice, including the specialization in animal behavior and welfare. The aim of this study was to survey the perception of canine welfare among veterinarians, including students, practitioners, and behavior specialists. A scale-based questionnaire including 12 issues affecting canine welfare was adapted from Yeates and Main and distributed to first-year (n 1/4 50) and fifthyear veterinary students (n 1/4 50), as well as veterinary practitioners (n 1/4 260) and specialists in behavioral medicine (n 1/4 50). For each issue, respondents were asked to rate how much they perceived each issue to affect canine welfare (on a scale of 0 to 4). A General Linear Model test was used to assess the effect of the studied group on scores. ''''Physical abuse or cruelty'''' was the highest-scoring problem in all groups and ''''breed-related conditions'''' was the lowest. In general, specialists in behavioral medicine assigned significantly higher scores to most items, particularly ''''behavioral problems'''' and ''''lack of sufficient company.'''' In contrast, fifth-year students assigned significantly lower scores to most items. This study shows that situations clearly affecting canine welfare represent an important concern for veterinarians, both undergraduates and professionals. However, the level of professional experience and specialization might influence the perception of more subtle examples of poor welfare. Raising awareness regarding canine welfare, including concern for breed-or behavior-related problems, should be emphasized within university programs.
